Louis Hayes and the Cannonball Legacy Band: Maximum Firepower (Savant, 2006)

Glenn Astarita reviewed Maximum Firepower by drummer Louis Hayes and his Cannonball Legacy Band, a studio session engineered by Rudy Van Gelder that draws on the repertoire of Cannonball and Nat Adderley, with whom Hayes had played.

He singled out alto saxophonist Vincent Herring and trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, with pianists Anthony Wonsey and Rick Germanson sharing duties, the samba-inflected This Here and Pelt's ballad The Two of Them, dedicated to the Adderley brothers.
